Okay? I mean that's not why people eat fresh fruits and vegetables. You can find common produce that has even less nutrients, yet is a widely used staple. If your goal is protein/aminoacid delivery in an efficient manner, you need milk & meat. Or maybe soybean/pea concentrates if you want to go vegan. No way around that. > Is there any way to grow nutritious food that isn't just transporting water everywhere? Yes. Growing literally any one of hundreds legume or cereal varieties.
